New Place & Enviroment

This week i moving to other lab due to my senior who stayed there before was finished his study and now the lab is empty. Got a lot of work to do,i need to 5S the lab, setup the computer with a setup i familiar with, find a new friend there and so on.

Yesterday i done a housekeeping at the lab, like usual there are many unnecessary things they keep there (most of that is paper and catalog). Just wonder why many peoples like to keep the thing they not using but assume one day they will need the thing. Did they never realize such of this thing will cost a storage place.

I'm also like that before, keeping the thing that i not using, want to throw it but feel so badly, but now i manage to avoid the feeling, i don't like to keep unused thing or item anymore i rather buy a new one when i need them.

Talking about 5S, 5S is the name of a workplace organization methodology that uses a list of five Japanese words Seiri-Seiton-Seisō-Seiketsu- Shitsuke (quote from wiki). Although i know this method since i started worked part time before, i don't know why so hard to practice it as my habit. However from time to time i try to make it.

Seiri - what i understand on this word is sorting or keep the thing we use and discard all the unnecessary thing.

Seiton - This word means arrange the thing or item tidily and at their proper location.

Seiso - Sweeping or Shining or Cleanliness but not just simple like that this work must be done scheduled like in my case at the lab i will sweep the lab once i'm coming and leaving. I don't want to make it an occasional activity initiated when things get too messy.

Seiketsu - Standardized in other word i must understand know exactly the upper 3S method and keep it going every day.

Shitsuke - Make it as our habit.

i add one more method actually my previous company added it which is safety.

Ok that all, Hope u all can prctice it to...
